Re: laser treatment

Hi Kerrie,

We have a daughter just a little younger than yours. She has FEVR in
both eyes, but more noticeably in her left. At 1 y.o. she had a scleral
buckle fitted to her left eye to prevent any detachment. This was done
in Japan at Fukuoka University Hospital (who are just wonderful!).
There were a number of children in the same ward who had laser surgery.
Some of it seemed very invasive but, from my understanding, a general
rule was that the later FEVR was diagnosed the more invasive the
procedure tended to be. Sorry I can't offer much more advice than that.

We would be interested to hear about the doctors you are seeing in
Australia. I'm originally from Adelaide but one of the things that has
kept us in Asia is the access to good quality care for our daughter.

Good luck and best wishes,
Nic
